Wednesday Q&A: Free To Good Home

My clients ask, What should I do with the clothes that I am not keeping?

My answer- Donate and Consign.

There are several charities that help women have a fresh start that accept clothing for women entering the workforce.

My favorite:
www.suitedforchange.org
1010 Vermont Avenue, suite 900, Washington, DC 20005
202-293-0351

However, as I've mentioned before, 90% of their need is for clothing sized 16 or higher, so if you have plus-sized clothing, you can make an incredible difference in the life of a Washington-area woman.

Consignment shops are another good option, and there are many in the area, depending on what you have to sell.

For high-end items I recommend:

Inga’s Once Is Not Enough
4830 Mac Arthur Blvd, NW Washington DC
(202) 337-3072

Designer Resale
4801 Saint Elmo Ave
Bethesda, MD 20814
(301) 656-3722

Chic to Chic
15900 Luanne Drive
Gaithersburg, MD
(301) 926-7700

...all are great for digging for yourself, too!
